The Minister of Railways Shri Suresh Prabhakar
Prabhu has said that it is proposed to introduce an “SMS Alert” service to
inform passengers in advance the updated arrival/departure time of trains at
starting or destination stations. Similarly SMS alert would be sent 15/30
minutes in advance of arrival of the train at the destination.
Presenting the Railway Budget 2015-16 in
Parliament today Shri Prabhu said, a centrally managed Railway Display Network
is expected to be introduced in over 2,000 stations over the next two years
which will aid in providing information on train arrival/departure,
reservations, general and emergency messages and also any other information of
interest to citizens. This facility will promote “Digital India Campaign” and
also unlock huge advertising revenue potential.
